Positano village on the Amalfi Coast, Italy – colorful cliffside buildings above the Tyrrhenian Sea
Amalfi

Best Private Pool Villas on the Amalfi Coast (2026)

The Amalfi Coast is built on near-vertical cliff, which is why only two hotels here have a pool belonging to the suite alone: Villa Treville in Positano and Hotel Santa Caterina in Amalfi town. Caruso, Il San Pietro and Palazzo Avino are all checked and excluded.

Tuscany

Best Private Pool Villas in Tuscany (2026)

Five Tuscany properties with a pool confirmed private to your villa or suite, not shared with other guests. Castelfalfi's Casale I Bianchi has the highest Booking.com score. Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco has eleven private villas in Val d'Orcia. Borgo Santo Pietro, L'Andana on the Maremma coast and Castello di Velona's thermal tower suite complete the list.

Ostuni, the White City, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, Puglia, Italy
Puglia

Best Private Pool Villas in Puglia (2026)

In Puglia the hotel never decides it – the suite name does. Masseria Longa sells a Deluxe Suite with a private pool and a Deluxe Suite with a steam bath under the same words, and Masseria San Domenico's signature suite overlooks the main pool rather than owning one. Five masserie have a confirmed private-pool category, from €450, and in every case the exact name on the reservation is the contract.

Sicily

Best Private Pool Villas in Sicily, Italy (2026)

Sicily's three confirmed private-pool hotels sit on three different coasts – San Domenico Palace in Taormina, Verdura Resort at Sciacca and DORIC above the Valley of the Temples at Agrigento – so this is a list of three separate trips, not one itinerary.

Lake Como

Best Private Pool Villas on Lake Como (2026)

Lake Como's most famous pools are shared ones – Villa d'Este's floating pool, Grand Hotel Tremezzo's, Il Sereno's 60-foot infinity. Only two properties on the lake have a genuinely private pool with the room: Filario at Lezzeno, with two suite sizes and terraces built over the water, and Mandarin Oriental, where it's a single suite in the entire resort.
